One life-changing aspect of my work is the distinction between FEELINGS and BEHAVIOR and the self-deception involved in hiding, from oneself, such feelings as fear, loss, hurt, shame, helplessness, worthlessness, and disappointment, beneath anger and aggression.
Mission Statement: I have enjoyed a half-century of professional experience in science (pharmacy, medicine, neuroscience, psychiatry and preventive medicine) and in the arts (publishing, theatre, TV and film production, and an Actors Studio approach to personal, emotional growth). I understand the value of deep and broad life experience and the importance of a serious commitment to honest, respectful attention to the needs of patients. My credo is treat others as I would want to be treated and do my utmost to assist in the process of healing and personal growth of each individual and/or couple with whom I am privileged to work.

Folsom, CA 95630
I work with people who are struggling with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, anger and stress, as well as those experiencing challenges professionally, creatively or in their relationships with others and themselves.
My expertise is in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy. This approach aims to address emotional and psychologic distress through the exploration of unconscious forces that are outside of our awareness and influence how we perceive ourselves and others, and how we relate to the world at large. This kind of psychological work is fostered by the development of a strong alliance between the patient and the therapist, which is why I meet with my patients at least once a week and often more frequently, including for full analysis.

Anger Management Psychiatrists

How long does therapy take for anger management?

Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?

Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?

Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
